I just posted the Olly one here and someone already downvoted it. 🤨
I used to own an Apple Music community on Lemmy, and it got downvoted for things that were on topic. It honestly makes me real skeptical of Lemmy as a discussion platform, even moreso than Reddit tbh.
Well, I guess people downvote things they dislike and upvote things they like. At least in big communities with plenty of posts, that works to filter bad posts out and deliver a natural sorting system.
I can't really relate with that with songs though… at least this year there is no one (yet) that I actively hate so much that I would want to downvote it, the last places are just songs I don't really like, but I can still be happy for other people if they like it.
I was just really surprised that there were only downvotes initially, meaning that just everyone who saw it on here didn't like it (which is also surprising since in other places it has been pretty well-received after an hour or so). Personally, I also really enjoy it.
And I'm sorry to hear that :/ I know it's offtopic, but may I ask why you don't own that one anymore?
As someone who has never heard of Joost Klein before, this is really wild, I was unprepared haha.
On Reddit (yeah, I don't interact, but still read things there sometimes…) most people seem to either really like it or don't like it at all / see it as an NQ. I definitely belong to the first group, I really enjoy it.
Also, since when are shoulder pads in ESC songs a thing? This is already the second music video (after Poland) in which the singer has massive ones.
